The present paper investigates a subtype of (analytical) resultative constructions¹, viz. Nomination Verb Constructions (e.g. Henry was proclaimed King of England), within a comparative Germanic – Romance perspective. Resultative constructions are a priori atypical of Romance languages, which belong to the so-called class of ‘verb-framing’ languages (cf. Talmy 1985, 1991) and hence are not expected to encode the result of an event outside the matrix verb. In light of this restriction, this paper offers a fine-grained corpus-based description of one particular—though crucial—aspect of nomination verb constructions, viz. the resultative secondary predicate, from a contrastive point of view. Although there is an extensive literature on resultative constructions, it is rarely mentioned that the resultative secondary predicate can be instantiated by a noun in these constructions, as is the case with nomination verbs. The study of four different languages (i.e. Dutch, English, French and Spanish) shows (i) that, although bare nouns are the default option in these constructions, a whole array of morpho-syntactic categories are attested, (ii) that the resultative secondary predicate may be unmarked or marked in several ways (e.g. via the predicative markers to and as), and (iii) that the classical Germanic – Romance dichotomy is questioned by the existence of nomination verb constructions since the resultative construction does appear in Romance languages with these verbs, and is, in fact, syntactically less complex than in Dutch, which always needs additional marking.

本文研究了（分析性）结果结构¹的子类型。从比较日耳曼语到罗曼史的角度来看，提名动词结构（例如，亨利被任命为英格兰国王）。结果构造是先验的非典型的浪漫语言，属于所谓的“动词框架”语言类（参见Talmy 1985，1991），因此不希望对矩阵动词外部的事件结果进行编码。鉴于这种限制，本文对提名动词结构的一个特定方面（尽管很关键）进行了基于语料库的细化描述。从对比的角度来看，结果性第二谓词。尽管有大量关于结果构造的文献，但很少提及在这些构造中可以用名词实例化结果辅助谓词，如提名动词一样。对四种不同语言（即荷兰语，英语，法语和西班牙语）的研究表明（i），尽管在这些结构中默认名词是裸露的名词，以和为），及（iii），经典日耳曼-浪漫的二分法被提名的存在动词结构提出质疑，因为结式建筑会出现在浪漫语言与这些动词，是的，其实，语法小于在荷兰复杂，它总是需要额外的标记。
